What you are talking about is daily and weekly caps that keeps players from burning through content quickly. These gated issue normally last on new content until the next update is released then removed to allow players to catch up. It's not a perfect system but by no means a bad system. The alternative would be to slow the process down so much that players who don't / can't run content 24/7 would be so frustrated in the grind, they would just out right quit.
    Sometimes why someone is saying something is more important than what is being said. The OP brings up lockouts because when all you have is a skinner box with no strategic depth, caps and lockouts suggest the developers actually believe people are going to have fun rerunning the same static content over and over again. This also eludes to other issues, like the design of the dungeons which promote racing to the finish, something terribly disconcerting when you are brand new to the dungeon in question. Anyway, the OP feels the end game needs something more to it than what is currently there. I hardly see a reason to disagree. What is there to disagree with?

    "Things in general should be some amount better than they currently are in some way or other" is ambiguous to the point of meaninglessness. Of course nobody's gonna disagree with things being made better, but that's not actually a suggestion.

    When in doubt, assume sarcasm

    True, but without believing things could be better on some level, no one would offer any constructive criticism or suggestions for improvement. His initial post contains both of those, so it isn't a case of simply saying he wants things to be better with no additional input. Additionally, I'd rather see more positive threads like what the OP started than "I'm disappointed in X" or "I'm quitting because of X" threads.
